Instant Pot Churro Bites—an easy, made from scratch recipe for fluffy churro bites rolled in cinnamon and sugar. A delightful snack or dessert that is perfectly poppable. A creative way to use your Instant Pot egg bites mold.

Instant Pot Churro Bites
Since buying the silicone egg bites mold* I wanted to figure out ways to use it for more than just egg bites. I tried meatloaf bites which were a hit but I wanted to also try something sweet. Churro bites turned out better than I thought they ever could. Usually Instant Pot dessert textures can be a little weird but the texture of these churro bites was spot on. My family inhaled one batch and then I made another and they were gone within minutes.
They are not like crispy, fried churros but more like a cinnamon muffin bite. Greg and I both thought that they would be amazing with a cream cheese dipping frosting next time. When we were first married Greg worked at a pizza joint that made “Tricky Sticks.” Bascially it was pizza dough rolled out into bread sticks with butter, cinnamon and sugar. They were served with a little ramekin of cream cheese frosting. And they were so tasty! Next time I’m definitely going to try churro bites with cream cheese frosting. Let me know if you try it and how it goes!
Tips for making the best Instant Pot churro bites…
- Even though silicone bakeware says it’s non-stick you will still need a bit of non-stick cooking spray (like Pam) on the inside your egg bite mold. This will ensure that you can pop out the churro bites with no issues of sticking. Don’t use a ton of the spray, just one quick 1/2 second of spray should work.
- Fill each of the molds evenly. They’ll be about ¾ full. This will ensure that each churro bite cooks evenly and are the same size.
- Don’t quick release the churro bites. They turn out fluffier with a 10 minute natural pressure release.
- Remove the foil immediately after retrieving the bites from your Instant Pot. This prevents condensation from dripping on top of the bites and “sweating” of the bites. Don’t let them sit for much or any time at all before taking them out of the mold.

Instant Pot Churro Bites (without a muffin mix)
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 12 minutes (plus 10 minute NPR)
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 7 churro bites 1x
Description
An easy, made from scratch recipe for fluffy churro bites rolled in cinnamon and sugar. A delightful snack or dessert that is perfectly poppable.
Ingredients
For the batter:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
For coating:
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and milk. Then stir in the baking powder, flour and salt until no white streaks remain.
- Spray your silicone egg bites mold with non stick cooking spray. Spoon the batter into each mold. They should be about ¾ full. Cover your egg bite mold with foil.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of your Instant Pot. Place the egg bites mold on top of a trivet (I use this sling/trivet) and lower into the bottom of the pot.
- Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 12 minutes on high pressure. When time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting.
- Remove the lid and pull out the churro bites. Remove the foil. Place a plate on top of the egg molds. Then flip over the plate and the molds so that the churro bites pop out on top of the plate. Gently push your thumb into silicone mold to pop out the bites.
- In a bowl or on a plate stir the white sugar and cinnamon together. Roll each of the churro bites in the mixture to coat. Eat and enjoy!
Notes
I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can use a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot for this recipe. You will need a silicone egg bites mold for this recipe. I purchased mine on Amazon*.
You can double this recipe and make 14 churro bites instead of 7. You will need 2 silicone egg bite molds*. Double the ingredients for the batter. Use 1 cup of water in the Instant Pot liner to bring the pot to pressure. Stack the egg bite molds on top of each other. Each should be covered with foil. Keep the same cooking time.

This is the first recipe from you that I’d call an actual failure—as with many folks in the comments, the results for me were dense, heavy, and not so flavorful. It’s very strange that for some people they were perfect and others, not at all. I really wanted them to work, too! I found another recipe that basically called for using a cake mix with added cinnamon and made those today successfully—MUCH more like what I had been expecting. I saw one comment early on that wondered if adding an egg might make a difference. Maybe? I also thought the batter itself was quite doughy and heavy, so the addition of an egg probably wouldn’t hurt. However, having found a successful recipe, I am not likely to try this one again. Sorry, Karen! Usually I enjoy the results of your recipes, but not this time.
★★
Made these today because it was raining!
After reading all the comments I was a little concerned, but did it anyway. They turned out great..
Knowing that you use an IP got me to wondering if the people that didn’t have success with thier Churro bites are using a different brand pot, hence different results 🤔!
The Churros came to the table , and now the are gone!
★★★★★
I’m so glad yours turned out! Thanks for the comment!
I made these today and very good!! I did not read all your comments so apologize if someone else said this. Was you ingredients old? Sometimes our baking powder etc is older than than we realize. Good luck!!
★★★★★
Really easy to make nice job
Thanks Merri!
When you mention using 1/3 cup melted butter do you mean measuring 1/3 cup regular butter and then melting? Or once melted measure out 1/3? Because I think when it melts it would be less than the 1/3 cup so I just wanted to clarify
I measure 1/3 cup of butter and then melt it
I followed the recipe, only making one change. I rolled the bites in melted butter before rolling in the cinnamon sugar. They came out great. My family gobbled them down as soon as the plate hit the table.
★★★★★
Thanks for the 5 stars! You’re making me want to make these today!
I dont have the instant pot egg maker,,,, i do have silicone eggies,, they are separate or from each other, can i use them? I think that you can microwave them and boil,,, can i use them in an instant pot?, they do have a plastic lid? i think
it if’s silicone it should be fine. don’t use the lid if it’s plastic because it will melt.
Awesome! cant wait to try these out.
I was also unfortunately part of the dense, gooey, crew. Was so excited for these to not be a box mix and they don’t taste bad but texture is just not right. Reading through comments I’m wondering if spraying the mold adds too much moisture? I’m also interested to see if hand mixing vs mixer makes a difference and wondering about altitude effects as someone else at sea level had an issue as well also if I try again I’m going to fill 1/2 instead of 3/4 🤷🏼♀️

Have you ever tried to make a gluten free churro bite? If yes, what did you substitute for regular flour?
I have not tried that. However another reviewer said, “I just made these for a second time and both times turned out great. First time made gluten free, half almond flour/half coconut flour, IP’d per recipe. Today made with all purpose flour and added one egg as one reviewer suggested. I even added 1/2 teaspoon homemade strawberry jam in the middle by putting about a Tablespoon batter in mold, add jam, then another spoonful. I IP’d for 13 minutes and natural release for 12. More like a muffin but who cares when it tastes delicious!”
Awesome suggestions! Just curious, if I were to check them with a cake tester at the recommended time, & thought they needed a little longer, could I just add a few minutes even though I had done the release?
★★★★
Yes you could for sure add more time.
I have the mini mould 1 1/2 oz, what cooking time do you suggest.
You are my go to for recipes. Can’t wait to get your new recipe book. Congrats you are the best
Diane
I would do the same time, or cut it down by 2-3 minutes.
Thx Karen, came out perfect!
★★★★★
Air fryer the next day to reheat! Holy moly it gets a crunchy edge, mind blowing
★★★★★
I love this idea! But I never have any the next day 🤣
These are delicious! They taste more like a cake than a muffin. To get the sugar/cinnamon to stick, roll them around it in with your hand in a bowl.
★★★★★
Good tip! Thanks!
Question can you leave out the white sugar and just use brown?
You could try it! i’m not sure how it would affect it. If you do try it let me know how it goes.
These were so good! Thank you for sharing. I have the smaller Instant Pot so just baked 2 batches. Kids gave 2 thumbs way up 🙂
★★★★★
Glad to hear it Tabatha!
I forgot to mention I have an 8 qt, used 2 cups of water in bottom and made 13 bites out of this recipe (using 3/4 full rule)! Yum.
I used baking soda instead of powder (oops!) but they still turned out nice. Slightly dense, darker brown but Cakey. Added some caramel to the top as the cinnamon sugar did not stick very well to the bites. Any tips for that? Thx !
You can roll in melted butter and then roll in cinnamon sugar. That should help. Glad they turned out nicely!
RE: comment towards end of your video.
FYI, Why is raw dough bad for you?
Raw dough can contain bacteria that cause disease. Flour doesn’t look like a raw food, but typically it is. This means it hasn’t been treated to kill germs such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), which causes food poisoning (foodborne illness).
SOURCE: https://www.mana.md/is-it-safe-to-eat-raw-dough/
★★★★★
Could I use the silicone lids that came with the molds instead of foil?
Yes if they are pressure cook safe.
FYI, Egg Bite Moulds come in different qualities. Many are offered without a cover, a few with true silicone lids, but most have plastic covers. Plastic covers are for storage ONLY and should NOT be heated in IP, microwave, or oven. Make sure you inquire prior to purchasing. The higher-grade ones (with quality silicone covers) are the best as they also benefit from a more rigid mould body, but are much more expensive than the cheaper models. Always be cautious with products manufactured in Capitalist-Communist China, main supplier of Amazon, Walmart, etc.
YUM!!! Turned out great, was hoping they wouldn’t be a big doughy heavy ball of batter, and they weren’t! So tasty, and disappeared quickly! Got the thumbs up from my cousin and her boyfriend…couldn’t make a second batch fast enough, lol!
If by some chance there are leftovers….can you freeze these tasty little bites??
Thanks!
★★★★★
Yes you could totally freeze these!
Dense, doughy and DELICIOUS! They are like a cake pop, but better!! :o)
★★★★
Glad you liked them!
Have tried this 4 times and having no luck whatsoever and I was so so excited to make these 😪 i have the 8q instant pot duo,followed recipe exactly,covered with foil as no silicone lid and the first two were gummy/doughy looked like steamed puddings, third didnt cook and last batch half cooked so popped back in and the top went gummy/steamed 😔
Totally lost as to why its not working and no idea what to try next! I’ve tried different cooking and npr times and sealing with foil different ways incase its the condensation.. any suggestions before I go cry in a corner?
Wah! I’m so sorry you haven’t had luck with this recipe. I would try using half the amount of batter in each mold.
This is exactly what happened to me. They came out half raw. I live at high altitude, could that be a factor? What should I try?
Me tooooo…. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong? Maybe I’m using too much batter in each cup- the family didn’t complain, they referred to them as more of a bread pudding consistency 🥰
★★★★★
I just made these for a second time and both times turned out great. First time made gluten free, half almond flour/half coconut flour, IP’d per recipe. Today made with all purpose flour and added one egg as one reviewer suggested. I even added 1/2 teaspoon homemade strawberry jam in the middle by putting about a Tablespoon batter in mold, add jam, then another spoonful. I IP’d for 13 minutes and natural release for 12. More like a muffin but who cares when it tastes delicious!
★★★★★
Thanks Barb! That sounds wonderful 😊
Love this recipe. I made one change and that was to use gluten free flour.
Cool! Glad it worked with gluten free flour!
I just made these with gluten free flour and they came out really doughy. Did you change anything else, like timing?
Which GF flour did you use?
I tried this recipe today, I did read the comments about these turning out dense and doughy. I was worried about wasting ingredients so I looked at the recipe again, and being a baker tried to see why some were getting bad results. The one thing I noticed was the recipe didn’t call for any eggs. I made a double batch with the addition of 1 egg per batch and they turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is maybe filling them half full and a single batch should make about 14 bites. Hope this helps those who were having problems with them not turning out.
Thank you so much Brandee. I am going to try this recipe again with the egg and I also like the idea of filling them half full.
I followed the recipe and used the red egg bite Mika with the red silicon trivet. They were delicious! Love your recipes. Thanks!
★★★★★
Should say mold.
Glad to hear it worked well for you Donna!
Easy peasy recipe…my husband loves cinnamon and sugar! After reading the comments about tough and dry “donuts,” maybe they left the Instant Pot on, or rather the warming mode, after the pressure ends. I unplugged mine, let it sit the 10 minutes and they were very good. Consistency of a baked donut, not fried.
★★★★★
So glad you liked it Jan!
I have not tried this recipe yet. I was reading another recipe for Churro Bites and found a tip on how to get them fluffy, instead of tough or dense bites.
Here is the quote:
“BY HAND: Add the dry ingredients (to the wet) and stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine. If you do this in a mixer, you may end up with tough or dense hockey pucks instead of light and fluffy Churro bites.”
I don’t know if this will work with this recipe, but those of you that keep getting dense bites might want to try this.
Thank you. Very good info.
Hi Karen!!
I was really excited to try this recipe out with me new IP duo crisp!! I even bought the red egg bite mold your recommended too!
I made a batch and they were dense and undercooked.
So I tried again, I was determined. I saw someone else commented and said “13min and slow release for 13”…I tried 14 and 14. They were still not fully cooked. 🙁
One more attempt- I tried the ‘bake’ feature at 350 and 20min. Still didn’t work.
Any suggestions?!
Maybe I’m not meant to make churros.
But I did love your YouTube video!!
Thanks,
Drew
Hi Drew,
I have no idea why there are such opposite results for people on this recipe. It makes me so sad and sort of frustrated! I might need to take this one back to the drawing board.
I haven’t tried this yet, but I wonder about the altitude where people live. Altitude can affect baking results.
I wonder about the altitude also. Mine failed. I’m at sea level. I tried cooking them twice in the instant pot with a quick release on the second attempt. Still only partially cooked. Taste great so now I’m going to throw them in the oven to see they bake through.
★★★
I made them exactly as described and they came out perfect. My kids love them. I didn’t make the double batch because they’re too tempting if I have leftovers.
★★★★★
I’m so glad they worked out for you!
Unfortunately, mine came out dense and doughy as well. However, they tasted good! I used the silicon molds you recommended. I will try them again with the cover that came with the molds — instead of the foil — and see what happens.
Let me know!
Dense and undercooked. We were very disappointed.
★
What kind of trivet did you use?
Thank you so much for taking the time to create a recipe from scratch. All I was seeing were recipes that start with boxed mixes and I like to have more control over my ingredients. I substituted fat free vanilla Greek yogurt for the butter, Monk fruit gold for the brown sugar and regular monk fruit for the coating, and used whole wheat flour. I’ve ordered more egg bite molds so I can make more at a time. They are wonderful!
★★★★★
And it turned out well? Thanks for sharing your version! 😊
They were completely cooked and very filling. I usually substitute Greek yogurt for the fat when I’m baking and I’ve been having good luck with the monk fruit. I PC for 13 minutes and NR for 10. I pack the brown sugar and use a spoon to place the flour into the measuring cup. My husband loved them.
After reading all the reviews… I cannot help myself and will have to try them out – will I be in the happy half or the sad half ??? The only thing I can think of for non cook all the way would be if you fill the mold more than 3/4 full. I will cook them for 13 minutes and use the lid that came with the mold like one of the successful review mentioned. The challenge is on and I will let you know later how they turned out.
I made them 😁 and I have to say they were a big hit with my husband, he gave them a 5 stars. They were cooked perfectly (pass the toothpick test) and they look amazing – Just like Karen’s picture. I used the 6 qt Instant Pot Ultra, cook them in the blue egg bite mold and put the silicone lid that came with it instead of foil; cook them for 13 minutes with a natural release of also 13 minutes. I followed the recipe to a teeth or to a gram as I cook in grams now… makes less dishes and is more precise. I will be making a double batch tomorrow! Thank you.
★★★★★
Here is a photo:

Wow they look so great! I’m glad they worked well for you!
Followed recipe…came out dense and doughy. Not quite done. Think I will fill 1/2 full and add a minute or 2 and maybe 1-2 on cool down. They tasted great, just weird texture.
★★★
😥
Just made a double batch for the first time. They are delicious. I have the blue silicon molds. I also brushed a tiny bit of avocado oil and they slipped out beautifully. I’m wondering if it’s the spray oil throwing the recipe off for others. Just a thought. They remind me of a very upscale homemade giant Tim-bit. I’m Canadian. Lol. So nice with a cup of tea on a cool evening.
★★★★★
So glad to know yours worked out!
I love my IP and all of the recipes I tried but the churro bites were awful I used the blue silicone, followed recipe exactly, first they weren’t done tried more time still did not work. They were so bad.
★
I’m sorry to hear that Kathy! I can’t figure out why some say they worked great and others are horrible.
Unfortunately, these churro bites were a disappointment. I followed the directions & they came out doughy & dense. They were undercooked. Will try again with a longer cooking time.
★
The flavor was amazing however mine were raw in the center. I have an IP Ultra and bought the recommended molds. Followed the recipe to the T! Not sure how to fix it. I ate the outsides and the flavor was great.
★★★
Just did mine. Ip duo 6. Followed the inst. Perfect. Gooey. Not edible. I used the foil on the egg thing. Sealed all the way around. Not sure how to fix it. But almost tasted great.
★★
Sorry Jamie! What kind of silicone molds did you use?
Made these yesterday. Great texture and flavor. Used the egg mold lid that came with it. 13 min hp and 10 min npr 👍 now I’m off —> to the kitchen making a new batch. Thanks for the recipe.
★★★★★
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your experience 🙂
Mine came out totally uncooked. Cooking them for longer didn’t help either, they remained doughy. So sad as I was really looking forward to them.
I followed the recipe exactly. Using instant pot duo 6 qt.
★
And can you tell me more about the silicone molds that you use? I am wondering if this is where the discrepancy comes in for people’s results.
Did a double batch today and even with spraying the molds they were mostly stuck 🙁 I had 3 out of the 12 that came out ok. And even those seemed to fall apart. Not sure if they needed to cook longer or not. I did the 12 minuted high pressure and natural release.
★★★
We loved these. I wonder if you made them with brown sugar If they would be a little sweeter or with applesauce somehow added to them to get more of an apple cider donut flavor? Might be worth experimenting.
★★★★★
Oh yum that’s an idea I love!
These didn’t come out well at all. I’m an experienced baker and Instant Pot user. I used the red Instant Pot brand egg molds, sprayed with Pam and used the lid that came with the molds. I used the metal trivet that came with the IP, put 1 c water in the bottom, and cooked in my 6 qt Duo for 12 min on Manual – Normal setting. NPR for 10 minutes then released the pressure & removed from the pot. Dried off the lid and removed immediately. They looked undone and gooey, but I thought that might just be the top. Tried to invert on a plate, and three kind of oozed out in a gummy clump. I spooned them back in the molds, tried covering with foil instead, and put back in on High instead of Normal for 4 more minutes, with another 10 min NPR. This time they were cooked through, but still dense and gummy textured. I popped them out and rolled them in the cinnamon sugar, and left them out on a plate to dry for little.
I have a recipe for baked muffins similar to this, but with egg. I guess I’ll go back to heating the oven to get the texture right. 🙁
★
Hi, I tried these and they turned out great. Just a thought—step 4 doesn’t say if the IP should be on high or low pressure (the video says high pressure) so maybe that’s causing some confusion?
Good call. I will add that in the recipe card. Thank you.
Made then according to the recipe. The are very dense. I didn’t expect that. How to make them airier? Tasted good, just very dense.
Kind Regards,
Rory
Likewise, mine were very heavy and we couldn’t eat them the next day. Any suggestions? Looks like most people have had issues with this recipe either undercooked or dense… Back to the drawing board?
I made them as directed, used the clear silicone lid that came with the egg bite mold (purchased at Walmart, Instant Pot brand). l left it for a 15 minute natural pressure release and then removed them from the mold right away and rolled in the sugar mixture. They were baked perfectly and the entire family loves them. So thank you for another excellent easy and tasty recipe!
★★★★★
So glad to hear that it worked well for you Chad! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Just finished making these! Doubled the recipe. I have an 8-Quart IP so you do need to use 2 cups of water for this size IP. Mine came out perfectly with the times as recommended. I live in Guatemala and the only issue I had is that the sugar is not as fine here as what I used to get in the US. So I had to brush the “bites” with melted butter and then rolled them in the cinnamon/sugar mixture. They are delicious. My next batch I want to have them with some dolce-de-leche! Yummm!
Glad to hear in Guatemala the churro bites are successful! Dulce de leche sounds like a dream.
Put your white sugar in a food processor and whirl away!
★
Great flavor! After reading other comments, and trial and error, I found 15 minutes was the winning time in my 6 qt duo nova. The tops did look uncooked, but it’s just the condensation… check with a toothpick if unsure! We cut each one in quarters for more surface area, hence more cinnamon sugar stuck to them.
★★★
I like the the surface area idea!
Can I use the lid to the egg bite mold instead of foil? It says not to use it in the oven. It is the Instant Pot brand.
As long as it’s pressure cooker safe. Some of them are plastic which would melt.
Mine were so underdone and not good – cooked for almost 20 min ! I didn’t seal the foil and now I’m seeing other videos showing foil completely sealed to block all moisture or to use the lid it case which was not suggested here.
** lid it came with
Darn! Sorry they didn’t work for you. We have loved them and they worked perfect for me with the 12 minute cooking time.
This recipe worked for me. Turned out perfect.
★★★★★
Thanks for sharing your experience Jean! Glad it worked for you. What kind of Instant Pot do you use? Did you cover with foil?
I made this with the grandchildren. Everyone loved them! When I first took them out they had a little bit of a undercooked look, but once pop them out I realize they were actually done perfectly. Thanks for a fun recipe
★★★★★
So glad that they worked well for you and the grand kids!!
★★★★★
I tried these today. Mine also turned out undercooked and not much flavor. Not a fan. Followed the directions exactly.
★
Sorry to hear this. Can you tell me what instant pot you used?
I followed the instructions to the letter. I’m a seasoned cook/baker/IP user. I have a 6 qt and these were still raw in the middle after cooking. I did the recommended cook time and NR. I’ve given up baked goods in the IP. I just finished them in a 350° oven so they wouldn’t be wasted, but they were nothing special. 🙁
★★★
Sorry to hear this. Did you use a 6 quart Duo or Lux or something else?
I wanted to love this but it wasn’t what I had hoped for. I increased cook time to 14 min based on other comments and did a Natural release. I will try dipping in dulce de leche mixed with cream cheese and that might help. I didn’t find them sweet enough, though precooked, the dough seemed tasty. When eaten warm, it was lacking in flavour.
★★★
Did you not roll in the cinnamon and sugar? That gives a lot of flavor!
Anyone tried this with self raising flour?
I haven’t tried that! I bet it would work though.
★★★★★
Mine were also undercooked. I put them back in the IP for an extra 5 minutes and then NPR for another 5 minutes and they were still slightly undercooked and very dark – they almost look chocolate!! The flavour was good – but the texture was not what I wanted.
I’m so puzzled by the mixed results! Did you watch my video? https://youtu.be/FHWRryAFZXk
My came out a tad bit undercooked, but my daughter and I actually liked it like that. The taste was very good. I will try again and give it just a little more time….maybe one extra minute and see what happens.
★★★★
Yes let me know!
I live in Ohio and follow the instructions exactly, and they turned out really deli and undercooked. I’m popping them in the Oven for a few minutes to see if they can be redeemed, but glad I didn’t wait until Easter morning to try them.
★★
I’m so puzzled by the mixed results! Did you watch my video? https://youtu.be/FHWRryAFZXk
Followed the recipe and video exactly. Came out a little dark but otherwise just like yours. I definitely wouldn’t call them churro bites. I would just call them Cinnamon/Sugar Balls. Only thing close to a churro was the cinnamon and sugar mix. But my thought they tasted great!
“family”
Glad they worked for you August! And yes they aren’t the texture of churros for sure but still so tasty!
★★★★★
Looks wonderful and easy . Two things i like for recipes to be!!! I tried your egg bites and they were great!
★★★★★
Me too! I love easy recipes!
Will make these in the new rectanagle mold that makes i
Let me know how it turns out! Might need more time.
Made these today and my husband especially loved them. My regular egg bites hold a third cup. I have a miniature egg bite tray with each space holding about an ounce. I would love to make these churros in it. I just have no idea how long to cook them. Do you have any idea of how long to cook these in a miniature egg bite tray?
I’m not entirely sure but I would try 10 minutes and go from there.
Thank you. Ten minutes was perfect. I love the smaller size. Recipe made 14 bite size churros.
Thanks for letting me know! I’m glad 10 minutes worked well for you 🙂
If I don’t have a silicone mold, can I put it in a metal pan in the instant pot?
You could try but the time would need to be adjusted. Will it be like a cake?
Loved this! The 10 minutes reading in the pot is essential. They turned out great! We doubled the recipe.
★★★★★
Awesome! Glad you liked them Colleen!
★★★★★
Absolutely amazing! Came out perfect on the first try following the recipe as shown. Did roll in melted butter before putting sugar topping on. Was the perfect bite sized snack for dessert!
★★★★★
Awesome! Thanks Kim!
I wonder if you could do this in the bundt cake pan and then top it with the sugar cinnamon? It would have a longer cooking time I guess?
That would be tasty! But yes it will probably be a longer cooking time. Let me know if you try it and how it turns out!
So easy to make. YUMMY
Glad you liked them Susan!
Will this work in a 3qrt pot? If so what adjustments?
Do you have an egg bites mold that fits inside your 3 quart Instant Pot? If so you can make them. It will be the same cooking time.
Mine came out uncooked. What did I do wrong?
What does your silicone mold look like? Link to it so I can see. Are you at elevation? Did you cover with foil? Did you let it natural pressure release?
Mine are doughy as well!
Did you watch my video? https://youtu.be/FHWRryAFZXk
The taste was good but not completely done. Also when I popped them out of the bold, the bottom of some completely separated. I doubled the recipe and followed instructions completely ?
★★★
Can skim milk be used? That’s all I have!
Yes that will work.
Can I use my silicone lid instead of foil?
I used the silicone lid and it worked great.
yes that should work! As long as it really is silicone and not plastic 🙂
Looks really good! Could I substitute the all purpose flour with oat flour?
Not sure! do you successfully do that with other baked goods? If so I bet you could 🙂
It sounds delicious!!! How can I replace the silicone mold?
Thank you, Karen!
★★★★★
I’m not sure! Perhaps ramekins?
I will try !!
Can you make chocolate ones. If so how much bakers chocolate cocoa would you add
★★★★★
Yum that would be amazing! I want to try this out. I would add maybe a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
I used the egg mold for my 3 quart IP, and I had left over batter. Also, the bites didn’t cook all the way through so I ended up putting them in the microwave to finish cooking them. Do you have any suggestions as to how to modify the recipe for the smaller instant pot? They were tasty and I would try again perhaps halving the recipe?
★★★
That’s what I would do for the 3 quart pot…halve the recipe.
